Show me the teams that parlayed that top tier #1WR into anything. The best WR in the NFL is part of the triplets with one of the best RB's in the NFL. Boy, Calvin Watkins sure delivered some rings to the Lions and Julio Jones has been golden with the rings. NE wouldn't have a ring if not for those highly paid #1WR's. That wacky Belichick just traded a #1WR, he's an idiot.
The amount of cap absorbed by these top tier WR's hamstrings teams and forces too many to attempt to run the offense through them, see the Lions. And when DC's doubled him and even tripled him, the QB threw to him because he didn't have other options.
And here's my real problem, it's too easy for DC's to erase that player from the offense and too often he doesn't even need doubles to do it. Then where are you? DAL and DEN gave identical contracts to their #1's, how did that work out?
Lemme see here. Bryant touches the ball 6 times a game, at best, and Zeke touches the ball 5 times as much for 1/3 the cap. The Steelers make Brown the highest paid WR in history and what does the RB want now? Watch what happens when Todd Gurley and Kareem Hunt are up after the paydays Cooks and Watkins get. I guess Jarvis Landry was the missing piece to the Browns winning a game?
If I were calling the shots in this draft, the best receiving RB and TE would be higher on my board than WR. First of all if my QB is not a drop dead deep ball chucker, why in the hell do I need a #1WR? Is this an offense built around that?
I love it, LOVE IT, that the RB has made a comeback and I hope Barkley blows it up this season wherever he is and Chubb too.. The most depressing stat to me in the NFL is that only 2 teams even hit 50% on their run calls and that ain't the football I grew up on.
How did the Saints manage to make the playoffs? Run game and D. PHL ranked 3rd in rush O and 1st in rush D, hmmmmm. MIN ranked 2nd in rush D, another hmmmmm. Run the ball, stop the run.
